Wage Board Approves Catchup Pay Increases Across U S
The wage stabilization board moves to permit about a 10 percent wage rise over pre Korea levels as talks resume. Public board members plan weekend discussions on a catchup formula amid labor management disputes. The order enables bona fide merit raises and noncontract pay, with normal promotions and incentives allowed and a warning against price increases tied to wage unfreezing. The OPS warns coal dealers they may pass on producer price increases. In Congress J Kenneth Galbraith argues heavy taxation blocks astronomic meat price rises, urging demand control.
